Hints ON spring Work ia the Garden.
Philadelphia Record.

With the advent of spring begins the
work in the garden. and the supply OF
vegetables and luxuries depends upon the
fertility of the soil aad the care bestowed.
Some plants are hardy and may be put
ont early. but nothing Is gained by haste
in attempting 20 force plants that delight
in warmth unless the iuTciag process be
ATTEMPTED under favorable conditions.
II must be kept in view that frosts may
come at any time, even as late as June.
and il is not safe TO put ont large crops
Of tender vegetables before the middle of
May. Onions, lettuce. kale, raddishes,
spinach peas, eagly cabbage and early
potatoes may take the risk of injury
from frost as soon the ground shall be
warm enough to terminate the seed. The
onion crop is one that should always 20
ia early as 70 thrives best when the sea-
son is not too warm, and not only eudures
quite severe frost but the crop keeps
well in winter also. Nothing can be gain
ed by transpanting egg plants tomato
plants. or melons before warm weather,
RS any slight check given Them will be
materially felt during the whole growing
season. The dwarf peas are best for an
early supply, and require no sup
port 10 hold the vines oil the
ground: but they do not compare
with the taller kinds in flavor or
in quality EARLY beets carrots and par
ships can be put in SIS soon As the ground
shall be in proper condition. Asparagus
is usually the first vegetable Of the sea
son. but il can not be secured until
well grown and permanent bed shalt have
been established. Lima beans, sugar
corn. beans, melons, turniP-, squash and
egg plants may be classed as SIMMER
crops, As they are not planted TIL the
ground is well warmed ana all danger
from frost is over. What is mostly re-
auired for garden is fine soil, not
simply that which is Plosed or spade6,
but one which Is either ha.ro xed or raked

deeper tae line soil the better. In using
manure that which Is thoroughly decom
posed is best, bu. experienced gardeners

American Agriculturlst.

American AgrlcultuTlst
The so-called luck element apparently
entered into Iowa county farming more
the past year than at any time in Its his
tory. When after weeks of dry weather
the needed rain put in an appearance
il came Sin streaks.n Sometimes il would
only touch a part Of ono mans farm. and
a half mile from there the whole township
received a copious supply. Here is a
case in point that cG-~c lnder the writer's
observation. Near kirkman, III this
State, farmer had to sell his farm on
account OF debts for machines, interest
on mortgage, etc. The buyer put in
about 40, acres of corn, leaving only
twenty acres for pasture. etc. "Sunshine
and rain in just the right proportion,
gave him crop averaging sl1ty-hye
bushels to the acre, which, selling at
twenty-five cents, brought him the money
Of his investment, leaving the farm as
bis profit.
It vas satisfactorily demonstrated last
season, that good crops can be raised on
Iowa soil without a drop of rain from
ssed-time TO harvest, and it is almost
safe to say, a dry season there is the pre-
ferable one for small grain. Last year
was the first time that the threshing
mae lines got left" on the measure. A
farmer near Marengo brought load of
oats that measured forty-three bushels
from the machines but weighed Thirty
three pounds to the bushel) sixty-siz
bushels and twenty pounds, The writer
was m eve witness 20 the above measure
ment We may not have another dry

All young vegetables are easily smothered

that reason the garden must be kept very
clean and well cultivated. Weeds must
not only be kept down bat kept out, de-
stroyiug them as soon az they shove thelr

said of grass. BY so doing much labor

The Dat Crop
Farmers Home Journal
The first crop that claims the attention
of the farmer IN early springtime Is the
oats. They should go into the ground
Just a. early as it will do to work. Early
sown oats stand much better chance to
make a good yield than when sown late.
Besides we have better chance to get
good catch of grass whe1 the sowing is
made early, and with US clover usually
follows the oat crop.
If the ground has to be plowed, the
work can be begun just as soon as the
soil settles so that team can get over II
without sinking down deeply, and the
pillow should be set very shallow, not more
than three or four inches. If the sowing
is done on corn stubble, breaking Is IN
neceszary. We wouldn't have the ground
broken If some one would DO it for moth
ing. With a stalk cutter, we get rid Of
the stalks, and then SOW broadcast and
follow up with a disS harrow. If the
corn had been cut up and fodder removed.
the Acme harrow is to be preferred. no
breaking being necessary. For SOW
ing by hand we use the Goshen
seeder for both oats and grass,
and get quite as even stand
as if sown ny the drill. We
use the drill when ground is broken OBJ
iections are sometimes made to sowing
oats with the wheat drill, but the only
trouble we have ever founu in sowing oats
in this manner j. that we are liable to get
the seed in this ground too deep. 1t Is
slow in coming up, and, like wheat, won't
stool ont IS it ought to when buried too
deep.
Be sure to have good seed. Some va
reties will yield nearly twice as much 80
Others The Black Tartarian Is one OF
the best kinds. taking one year with an

Welcome oats are good when they nit, but

oat i, nearly the Same as the Welcome
and subject to the same faults. The
White Belgian is a good, medium sized

II you want a good yield that is heavy,
be sure to get your crop in early. Be
sides tho earlier the oat crop is disposed
of the more time we have TO get ready
for the corn and haul out manure, if it
has not already been done, The farmer
